Q:According to rera, if all flats are sold on purely carpet area basis, how will balcony or pocket terrace be sold to owner? How will that be calculated legally?
Latest Answer: As stated in the circular, the terrace, veranda, external wall and the balcony will not come under the carpet area even it is exclusively dedicated to the flat owner whereas the internal partition wall will be included in the carpet area.
